Ingredients

• 2 cups glutinous rice
• 3 cups water
• 2 cups coconut milk
• 1.5 cups brown sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup coconut cream
• 0.5 cup dark brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

Step 2

In a large pot, combine the rinsed glutinous rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is partially cooked and the water is absorbed.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the coconut milk, brown sugar, and salt to the partially cooked rice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the mixture thickens and becomes sticky, about 20 minutes. Transfer the rice mixture to a greased 9x9-inch baking pan and spread it evenly.

Step 4

Preheat your oven’s broiler to low or 375°F (190°C) if your oven has no separate broil setting.

Step 5

In a small saucepan, combine the coconut cream and dark brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture becomes thick and syrup-like, about 8-10 minutes. This will serve as the coconut glaze.

Step 6

Pour the coconut glaze evenly over the sticky rice layer in the baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it out smoothly.

Step 7

Place the baking pan in the oven and broil for about 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan. Slice into squares or desired shapes before serving. Enjoy your homemade Bibingkang Malagkit!
